I also have some old Marriott points that could use a good home if I choose the Marriott.
The Hyatt has a Regency Club which is my first thought process
Anyone with muti brand experience in Cologne ?
Wide conflicting reviews here on this property
Just completed a short conference stay at the Dom, we usually meet at the Hyatt, I (on private) usually stay at the IC. Hilton is out for me, because it's a 4*.

- Dom, small rooms, upgrade was nothing exciting (higher floor? little larger room? Didn't bother to push anything for one night). I thought the bathrooms were quite out of date and not very spacious.
- As RA, IC usually gives you Exec Suite or Club room for cheapest room booking (you usually can chose), good value for RAs. Location excellent and better than the Dom, since closer to Neumarkt und Heumarkt. Safest and best bet when on own expenses.
- Hyatt is just as great. I don't have any status, deluxe/ suite rooms are large and new-ish. Location is not so good, on the wrong side of the river. I need to mention that cheapest rooms are actually the cheapest rooms, and could do with a refurb. More expensive suites or rooms are nicer.

Edit: Neither Hyatt nor IC Club are very exciting. Hyatt has a better food, IC has the better booze offer for happy hour
